  1. Dreamlords is a MMORTS (Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy).

     

    A description is here: <_<

    The Massive Multiplayer Online Game Dreamlords is a persistent world in which your victories and hard work will not pass unnoticed. Everything you gain will make you stronger for the next encounter.

     

    In Dreamlords you assume the role of a Dreamlord in the control of a patria. A patria is a chunk of land floating in the universe with its own population and various natural resources. The patria is your base of operations. This is where everything starts; the population lives here, which enables you to create an army and construct buildings. As the patria grows, more choices must be made. Your skills are required to focus your strategy, be it might through force, cunning, alliances or some other means. Everything is allowed in the war for existence.

     

    Managing your patria will be done using the online management interface, which can be accessed via the Internet and supported browser. How well you manage the patria will directly influence how mighty your armies become. Fighting victorious battles and resolving events successfully will strengthen your army, in addition to research granting superior armor and weapons.


    Now, it's in Closed Alpha, it mean that it's only open to a few people can play B) . The Alpha Testers have to report bugs like a Beta Tester.

    But if you want, you can register now, participate at the forums and you will get more oppurtunities for be selected like an Alpha Tester. :D

  2. The History of the World Cups

    Trying and Trying...

     

    In 1905, Robert Gu?rin (French) and C. A. W. Hirschmann (Dutch) - The first president and general secretary of the FIFA (F?d?ration Internationale de Football Association) - presented the rules for a championship with the participation of 13 european teams divided in 4 groups, and the host nation was going to be Switzerland. But the proyect fails because the countries didn't support the idea.

     

    In 1908, the Football (soccer) was added in the Olimpic Games (London).

     

    In 1914, Jules Rimet and Henri Delaunay (both French) expresed the possibily that the FIFA make the Championship, but the lack of support won again, and with the First World War all the possibilities disappear.

    But 6 years later the Olimpic Games were celebrated again (Belguim) with the football, and again, demostrated it's Popularity.

     

    But the big explotion occur in the Olimpic Games in 1924 (Paris), with the presence of the Uruguay Team, that won the gold medal. The final was in Switzerland, more than 50.000 spectators went to the final.

     

    The World Cup START!

     

    In 1926 Jules Rimet - President of the FIFA in that time - studied the possible presentation of a World Cup. Two years later a congress was made in Barcelona (Spain), for the final veredict. Uruguay was selectect like the host nation because it had won 2 times Gold Medals in the Olimpic Games.

     

    -------- To be Continue ---------- :)


  3. I want to complement that guide with some interesting things:

     

    Uruguay 1930

    In this world cup the substitutions were prohibited.

    The French goalkeeper Th?pot, was the first player that leave the game before the time whe he get injure.

    I will continue tomorrow because i'm going to watch the soccer game. :)

     

    Im going to make a Complete Guide about The History of the World Cups.


  4. Short note to the poster: the post belongs in regional > Europe section since Chernobyl lies in Europe.

    I don't do that, The Moderators changed the location of my post :lol:

    The links are excellent! <_< But if you want more information about Chernobyl, you can visit the website that I wrote above. So you don't have to search on the internet.

    ----------------
    Moderators, he is right, can you change the location of the post?

  5. I think that this could happen again, but what do you think? :lol:

     

    A short story about what happen that day:

     

    The explosion of the reactor

     

    What was the sequence of events?

    The accident in reactor no. 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power station took place in the night of 25 to 26 April 1986, during a test. The operating crew planned to test whether the turbines could produce sufficient energy to keep the coolant pumps running in the event of a loss of power until the emergency diesel generator was activated.

     

    In order to prevent the test run of the reactor being interrupted, the safety systems were deliberately switched off. For the test, the reactor had to be powered down to 25 per cent of its capacity. This procedure did not go according to plan: for unknown reasons, the reactor power level fell to less than 1 per cent. The power therefore had to be slowly increased. But 30 seconds after the start of the test, there was a sudden and unexpected power surge. The reactor's emergency shutdown (which should have halted the chain reaction) failed.

     

    Within fractions of a second, the power level and temperature rose many times over. The reactor went out of control. There was a violent explosion. The 1000-tonne sealing cap on the reactor building was blown off. At temperatures of over 2000?C, the fuel rods melted. The graphite covering of the reactor then ignited. In the ensuing inferno, the radioactive fission products released during the core meltdown were sucked up into the atmosphere.

     

     

     

     

    What caused the accident?

    Determining the causes of the accident was not easy, because there was no experience of comparable events to refer to. Eyewitness reports, measurements carried out after the accident, and experimental reconstructions were necessary. The causes of the accident are still described as a fateful combination of human error and imperfect technology.

     

    The test during which the accident happened was conducted under time pressure. Shortly after it started, on Friday 25 April 1986, the test run was interrupted for nine hours. Electricity still had to be supplied to the capital, Kiev. The test then took place at night. Today, several flaws in the technical design of the reactor type are thought to have been decisive.

     

    These include the handling of the control rods. In a reactor, the power level is controlled by raising and lowering the control rods: the fewer control rods are positioned between the fuel elements, the greater the reactor power. In this type of reactor, however, the management of the "braking" process has a fatal flaw. If the control rods are raised and then, to "put on the brakes", lowered between the fuel elements, the initial effect is the exact opposite: reactor power is increased.

     

    If, as was the case in the test at Chernobyl, too many control rods are raised at once and then reinserted simultaneously during an emergency shutdown, the power level rises so dramatically that the reactor is destroyed. A similar error, but with much less severe consequences, had already occurred in a reactor of the same type in Lithuania in 1983. This experience, however, was not passed on to the operating crew in Chernobyl
